Two Backs Road


Back in the old days
that stretch of road was gorgeous.
Now, I can't go back.

Is this in reference to Shakespeare’s Othello?

I’m not sure I can understand this,
maybe too deep for my feeble old brain.

Ah, but the memory is still vivid, is it not?  Sometimes that's just as good.

It wasn't even gorgeous, to me, even back then.

This speaks to me very strongly ... a friend of mine from my hometown in Switzerland recently called and said "you will not recognize the street where you lived in your youth and where I still live, everything has changed due to very profoundly modifying works" ... so what was "back then" indeed will no more be accessible to me.

Great word play.

Thanks all for your comments. This is mere wordplay midst the sadness of it all.

Thanks, Margherita, for your supportive vignette. It is appreciated.

From the diffused light of December blinks on a Tannenbaum. Shazam!
